Feature Request: Parties #141

Closed rathe closed 6 months ago

rathe commented 1 year ago

For the purpose of using the same X-Haven Assistant server and/or clients in multiple campaigns, allow the saving of party composition in a group, and allow the saving of, and selection from, multiple groups.

Minimum group elements:

  1. Party Name (e.g., "Thursday Gloomhaven", "The Murderhobos", "Brandon's Sunday Funday Campaign", "Caitlin's Really Cool Party", "Guardians of the Gaylápagos")
  2. Party composition

Minimum party member elements:

  1. Name (e.g., "Voidwarden", "Princess Sparkletime von Poopypants", "Hamtarino", "Ix", "Trogdor the Burninator")
  2. Class
  3. Level

Considerations:

  1. Should the group be saved to client, server, or both?
  2. Should connecting to a server overwrite the client's party list with the server's list?
  3. Should connecting to a server add the server's party list to the client's list? Add the client's list to the server's?

Possible Additional Functionality:

  1. "Default Campaign" group element: setting this automatically changes which "Current Campaign" is selected in the Set Scenario menu when the party is loaded
  2. "Player Name" party member element: I dunno, maybe someone's got a lot of campaigns and has trouble remembering who plays what, or who's in which group? People meet infrequently sometimes.
  3. "Active" checkbox party member element: When checked (default), party member is automatically added when Set Scenario is performed. This facilitates switching players out in the same campaign. (Credit @sigismond0, #73)
  4. Save mid-scenario party member attributes, such as Current HP, Current XP, Applied Statuses, etc, to facilitate party switching when a long-running scenario is split across sessions that bridge sessions from other campaigns

Additional Functionality considerations:

  1. Should changing the Current Campaign in Set Scenario also change the group's Default Campaign?

73 also requests related functionality. I'll add "Active/Inactive" under Additional Functionality in the original description.

Simplest would probably be to introduce saves for the entire state. Since beyond characters there are persistent changes to loot deck in Frosthaven that you'd want to preserve as well.

Added manual saves in version 1.9.0. This will hopefully be enough, so I will close this issue
